How does social network structure amplify or stifle behavior diffusion? Existing theory suggests that when social reinforcement makes the adoption of behavior more likely, it should spread more -- both farther and faster -- on clustered…

Network diffusion models are used to study disease transmission, information spread, technology adoption, and other socio-economic processes. We show that estimates of these diffusions are highly non-robust to mismeasurement. First, even…

It is necessary to develop efficient DNNs deployed on edge devices with limited computation resources. However, the compressed networks often execute new tasks in the target domain, which is different from the source domain where the…
